Alright friends, who else has seen those cute little 13.1 bumper stickers that people add to their car once they have completed a half marathon?

I want one.

I WANT ONE SO BAD.

Okay, let me be honest. This is not my only motivation to complete my 1st half marathon in April. (but it may be a little bit...) I've done a handful of 5Ks and two 10Ks before, and I've decided to spice up my life with something WAY MORE courageous. So here goes nothing.

*****

So the real story -- Hi friends, I signed up for my first half marathon a couple weeks ago. It's in April. Who else has their first half marathon coming up? Hit me up! I need motivation (& inspiration) to keep training and friends that are floating down the river on the same boat.

    Might want to join or take a look around in this group, many long distance runners and threads that might help you. I will be doing my 5th and 6th come March and April. You can add me if you like. Best of Luck!!
